This will do what you want.
#!/bin/bash
nohup wvdial 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null &
while true; do
if [ -n "`/sbin/pidof pppd`" ]; then
# successfully connected
mozilla &
exit
fi
if [ -z "`/sbin/pidof wvdial`" ]; then
# wvdial failed and exited
xmessage "Failed to connect."
exit
fi
sleep 1
done
# end of script
It doesn't represent my life's work or anything, but it will work.
You can just run "killall -2 wvdial" to close the connection.
You can actually set up pppd to dial for you, and dial on demand if you
want too. That way when you open a browser it will automatically dial for
you if you're offline.
